The trendwatchers and trendsetters at Pantone Color Institute have revealed their 2018 pick for color of the year: the "dramatically provocative and thoughtful purple shade" known as Ultra Violet.
色彩界的潮流觀察者和引領(lǐng)者彩通色彩研究所公布了2018年度色彩：“極其挑動(dòng)思緒又引人深思的”紫外光色。

The color authority describes the blue-based purple shade, more specifically named 18-3838 Ultra Violet, as one that "communicates originality, ingenuity, and visionary thinking that points us towards the future."
彩通色彩研究所將這種以藍(lán)色為基底的紫色形容為“傳達(dá)獨(dú)創(chuàng)性、創(chuàng)造力及前瞻性思維，為我們指向未來(lái)?！边@種紫色的具體色彩名為18-3838紫外光色。

Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the institute, said the color “l(fā)ights the way to what is yet to come” in a time that “requires inventiveness and imagination”.
研究所執(zhí)行董事萊阿特麗絲?艾澤曼表示，在“需要?jiǎng)?chuàng)造性和想象力的時(shí)代”，紫外光色“為我們點(diǎn)亮了通往未來(lái)的道路?！?/p>

On the website of the institute, the color is related with pictures of cosmos in the same shade, which claimed the color “suggests the mysteries of the cosmos”.
在該研究所的網(wǎng)站上，宇宙的圖像也呈現(xiàn)出紫外光色，研究所稱，紫外光色“象征著宇宙的神秘”。

The company notes that Ultra Violet is increasingly used in packaging and can also be found in "it" foods such as purple-hued cauliflower and carrots; in fashion, it brings a sense of the theatrical, while in home decor it makes a variety of statements, from tradition and elegance to boldness and spirituality, says Pantone.
彩通色彩研究所指出，紫外光色越來(lái)越廣泛地用于外包裝，某些“潮流”食物也呈現(xiàn)出這種色彩，比如紫色的花椰菜和紫色的胡蘿卜；在時(shí)尚界，紫外光色能帶來(lái)戲劇感；在室內(nèi)裝飾中，紫外光色象征著傳統(tǒng)、優(yōu)雅、膽量和靈性等特質(zhì)。

Ultra Violet is not the first enigmatic purple Pantone has put in the spotlight this year: in August, it revealed the new color Love Symbol #2, created in honor of the late musical icon Prince.
紫外光色并非彩通公司今年著重推出的第一種神秘的紫色：今年八月，彩通色彩研究所發(fā)布了新色彩“愛(ài)的象征#2”，向已故的音樂(lè)偶像王子致敬。

自2000年起，彩通研究所每年都會(huì)挑選一款顏色，來(lái)代表時(shí)代精神。而這種顏色，在接下來(lái)一年里，也將被廣泛應(yīng)用到工業(yè)設(shè)計(jì)、家居設(shè)計(jì)等各個(gè)領(lǐng)域。一起來(lái)回顧一下彩通近年推選出的流行色：
